I really like LXF, but being in the states, I have a hard time justifying paying over $100 for a magazine. I will try to get to Barnes and Noble to pickup the one with #! on it. What isthe issue number for it?

Suspend is working on my ThinkPad T43 just fine. Hibernate works about 60%.

There seems to be problems with network-manager provided with the distro.  It just doesn't seem to be ready for prime time.  After a day or so of use, it just wouldn't recognize any connection.  Installing wicd solved my problem, although I had to uninstall network-manager to install it.  Small loss, though.  Wicd is in the repository, easy to install with apt-get, but as I said, it won't install over network-manager, and requires the uninstall first.

I have never had a problem with network-manager-applet. I use it on a hard wired connection at my office and home, and a WPA2 wlan at my house. It has always connected.

If you don't know, wireless compatibility/access is the biggest achilles heel for linux.

WiCD cannot live with network-manager-applet, thus the required uninstall of nm-applet. I thought that WiCD was troublesome with wired connections, though. I may test that this weekend, as I have never used WiCD.

I just checked my stats. I have served up 25GB of ISOs TODAY!

Since last thursday, I have served up 86+ GB of ISOs. That is about 129 ISOs based on the famous 666MB size.

Oh yeah, and I am STILL only at 1% of my bandwidth limit for the month.

This is AWESOME!

My account has blown 5640GB and is close to its monthly throttle. How would you feel about me moving your link up the download page? It is a big ask, I know, so please feel free to say no. I am already more than grateful for your help with the mirror smile

Regarding CrunchBang appearing on lifehacker, crazy stuff!

That is fine for me. My monthly cycle (MAN, that is still funny!) resets on 02 Feb.

Also, if you are still considering updating, I would personally hold off until .03, which will hopefully resolve the issues in this thread: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … esktop-co/ smile

Have you set a timeline for the 03 release? I will be more than will to test out an upgrade scripts that you are working on...that is really the reason that I have not upgraded to 02 already.

Yakuake is exactly what I want out of a quake terminal, but there's just too many dependencies, coz it's based on KDE

yep you're right, the last time i try download yakuake it said i had to download 100mb of dependencies packages first

Yeah, Yakuake require KDE Konsole to be installed, so that was a deal breaker for me. I am liking Tilda on my home machine, even if it is not transparent.

Well that is done because the developer lives in the UK. #! was only meant to be used by him, but it has grown out of his house to international fame!

His distro, his keyboard layout, we (Americans) have to make the change.

Hello All

My name is Patrick, I am currently going to college for network management.

I have Crunchbang Linux installed on my Acer Aspire One, and Linux Mint on my Desktop.

So far I love them both.

Well you are halfway there wink

Once we get #! on that desktop, you will fully there!

Michael

PS: just j/k. I have never been a fan of Mint.

PPS: What's the chance of the Crunchbang devs including b43 and madwifi wireless drivers, is there a strictly non-free policy?

You did see that Skype is installed, right? To the bane of many in the Linux Outlaws community!

To be honest, like I said on the LO forums: "Personally, I don't use linux for a cause or a statement. I use it because it is one of the best operating system out there."

I have a ThinkPad T43 with an ipw2200bg and I am able to connect to my home network that is WPA or WPA2, I honestly cannot remember. I am using nm-applet as well. Although I am on 01 at the moment, but I cannot see where something like that would have changed.

I will check tonight and double check for you.

Welcome Rich.

I joined LxH last night and have not had a chance to look around, but it look like you have a very nice community as well. Thanks for the good remarks about #!. I look forward to contributing to LxH and reading your contributions here.

I installed Deluge 1.1.1 and it came up...slowly, but it came up.

Call it irony, but I just signed up for LxH. It looks to be another great linux community.

I wonder if it requires python 2.6 to run. I just checked mine and I have 2.5.2 installed on my machine.

Thoughts?

Umm, just thought I'd mention that the first two links don't really work...
At least for me...

Thanks, I did leave off the 's' in forums and accidentally made the wiki URL with clb.

All of the initial links work fine now.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Michael

Strange. I got the one from Deluge's website (deluge-torrent_1.1.0-1_i386.intrepid.deb) and it is screwed up.
